The month of February and March is the exam season. Obviously, children must have been engaged in its preparation from now on, and for this, sitting for a long time, studies will also be done.

It is necessary to sit for a long time for studies, but along with it take care of the right posture. Otherwise, there may be other health problems.

It is often seen that children study by bending or sitting in the wrong way, that too for a long time. This can cause pain or another discomfort in the back, arms, shoulders, and knees. If the seating area is arranged properly, then they will not face much difficulty.

पांच से पंद्रह साल की उम्र के बच्चों में स्ट्रेप गले का संक्रमण आम है। वयस्कों में स्ट्रेप थ्रोट भी विकसित हो सकता है। 10 में से 1 वयस्क को गले में खराश की शिकायत होने पर वास्तव में स्ट्रेप थ्रोट हो सकता है। एक स्ट्रेप गले का संक्रमण अत्यधिक संक्रामक होता है और दूषित हवा में सांस लेने से संक्रमित से स्वस्थ व्यक्ति तक आसानी से फैल सकता है।

It is common for the energy level to drop and rise during the day. Many factors affect the increase and decrease of energy in the body. These also include sleep and stress levels. Apart from this, energy decreases due to physical activity and the foods we eat.After having a meal or snack, we get enough energy and the body becomes active. However, some foods can also deplete our energy level.

White bread, pasta and rice

During the processing of white bread, pasta, and rice, the fiber-rich outer layer, the bran, is removed. Due to this, processed grains contain less amount of fiber which increases blood sugar and insulin levels. Due to this, there is a lack of energy in the body. Therefore, whole grains should be used instead of processed grains like white bread, pasta, and rice.

Description: Discover the real causes of acne and proven prevention methods. Learn what triggers breakouts, which treatments work, and stop wasting money on products that don't help.

Let me tell you about the small fortune I spent trying to cure my acne before I actually understood what caused it.

I tried every trendy solution: charcoal masks (did nothing), "detox" teas (laxatives in disguise), cutting out dairy (helped slightly but wasn't the whole answer), expensive serums promising "clear skin in 7 days" (lies), and that period where I washed my face five times daily because surely cleaner = better, right? (Spoiler: made everything worse).

My skin looked... exactly the same. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but mostly just consistently broken out despite my desperate attempts and mounting credit card debt from skincare products.

Then I actually talked to a dermatologist who patiently explained that what causes acne is way more complex than "dirty skin" or "eating chocolate," and most of what I'd been doing was either useless or actively counterproductive.

Acne causes and prevention isn't about one magic product or eliminating one food. It's about understanding hormones, genetics, skin biology, and the complex interplay of factors that create those painful bumps you can't help picking at (even though you absolutely should not).

How to prevent acne naturally sounds appealing, but "natural" doesn't automatically mean effective, and some natural remedies are genuinely harmful. Meanwhile, some "chemical" treatments dermatologists prescribe actually work because they're based on science, not marketing.

So let me give you what I wish I'd known before wasting years and money: the real causes of acne, which prevention methods actually have evidence behind them, and how to tell the difference between helpful treatment and expensive snake oil.

Because your skin deserves better than misinformation.

And your wallet deserves better than buying every product TikTok influencers shill.

What Acne Actually Is (The Biology Lesson)

Understanding acne scientifically starts with knowing what's happening under your skin:

The Anatomy of a Pimple

Sebaceous glands: Produce oil (sebum) that lubricates skin and hair.

Hair follicles (pores): Where hair grows, connected to sebaceous glands.

The process:

1. Sebaceous glands produce sebum
2. Sebum travels up hair follicle to skin surface
3. Dead skin cells mix with sebum
4. Sometimes this mixture clogs the pore
5. Bacteria (specifically C. acnes) feed on trapped sebum
6. Inflammation occurs
7. You get a pimple

That's it: It's not punishment for eating pizza or evidence you're dirty. It's biological process gone slightly wrong.

Types of Acne

Non-inflammatory:

• Blackheads: Open comedones, oxidized sebum makes them dark
• Whiteheads: Closed comedones, trapped sebum under skin

Inflammatory:

• Papules: Small red bumps, inflamed but no pus
• Pustules: Red bumps with white pus-filled center
• Nodules: Large, painful bumps deep under skin
• Cysts: Severe, pus-filled, painful, deep, scarring

Severity matters: Treatment for occasional whiteheads differs from treatment for cystic acne.

The Real Causes of Acne

What actually causes breakouts:

1. Hormones (The Primary Culprit)

Androgens (testosterone, DHEA): Increase during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, stress.

What they do:

• Stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oil
• Increase skin cell production
• More oil + more dead cells = more clogged pores

Why teenagers get acne: Puberty floods body with androgens. Sebaceous glands go into overdrive.

Why adults get acne: Hormonal fluctuations continue. Women especially affected by menstrual cycles, pregnancy, PCOS, perimenopause.

This is why: Topical treatments alone often aren't enough. Hormonal acne needs hormonal solutions.

2. Genetics (The Unfair Advantage/Disadvantage)

Your DNA determines:

• How much sebum your glands produce
• How easily your pores clog
• How inflammatory your immune response is
• Likelihood of scarring

If both parents had acne: You're highly likely to have it too.

Not your fault: You didn't cause it by eating poorly or not washing enough. Genetics loaded the gun.

The good news: Even genetic acne responds to treatment. You're not doomed.

3. Excess Sebum Production

Oily skin and acne correlation: More oil = more potential for clogged pores.

But: Not everyone with oily skin has acne. And not everyone with acne has oily skin.

Factors increasing sebum:

• Hormones (see above)
• Climate (heat and humidity increase production)
• Over-washing (strips oil, skin compensates by producing more)
• Some medications

You can't eliminate sebum: It's necessary for skin health. Goal is balance, not elimination.

4. Clogged Pores (Dead Skin Cells)

Skin sheds constantly: Dead cells normally shed without issue.

The problem: Sometimes dead cells stick together, mix with sebum, form plug.

Why this happens:

• Excess sebum makes cells sticky
• Abnormal keratinization (skin cells don't shed properly)
• Genetics (some people's cells just clump more)

Exfoliation helps: Removing dead cells before they clog pores. But over-exfoliation causes problems (covered in mistakes section).

5. Bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes, formerly Propionibacterium acnes)

It lives on everyone's skin: Not an infection you "caught."

Normally harmless: When pores aren't clogged, it's fine.

The problem: Trapped in clogged pore with sebum (its food), it multiplies rapidly.

Immune response: Your body attacks bacteria, causing inflammation, redness, pus.

Why antibiotics sometimes work: They kill bacteria, reducing inflammation.

The limitation: Bacteria isn't the root cause. It's opportunistic. Treat underlying causes (excess oil, clogged pores) or bacteria returns when antibiotics stop.

Monsoon is here, and that means it’s the time when mosquitoes cause all kinds of diseases!  Dengue and malaria are two of the most common diseases that wreak havoc. Unfortunately, those who suffer from dengue experience gut-wrenching pain, high fever, and weakness. In the worst cases, the recovery takes months. But you will be glad to know that there is a specific dengue diet, which can help recover faster.

• Papaya leaves

If someone has suffered from dengue at home, you must have heard of papaya leaves being advised to them. That’s because with dengue, our platelet count drops drastically, and papaya leaves can help in bringing that back to normal. They can be consumed in the form of juice. Interestingly, they also help in boosting immunity, so that you recover faster from dengue.
